DETERMINISTIC SIMULATION OF DISCRETE BLOCK DIAGRAMS FOR VEHICULAR CONTROL SYSTEM

A method for testing a vehicular control system includes receiving, at a simulator, a discrete diagram identifying a plurality of tasks to be simulated and connections between the plurality of tasks, and receiving, at the simulator, a requested determinism level selected at a user device from a plurality of determinism levels. An optimal execution policy based on the simulator, the discrete diagram and the requested determinism level is selected from a plurality of execution policies. The plurality of tasks are simulated, by the simulator, using the selected optimal execution policy to simulate operation of the vehicular control system on a vehicle.
